Will dealerships usually give out their 'allocation' level? I know that I will eventually get my order filled but just wanted to know about where in the pecking order my order will be placed. I would rather be informed that my order will be a long time in coming, rather than expecting it to arrive much sooner than it will.
A lot of threads on this forum have been generated because many people people put in orders in June but thought they would be some of the first to get delivery but didn't.
I would rather be told that my convertible will arrive in May, than some unknown time in late winter.
You want an order Priority as close to 10 as possible. If you can wangle a Priority 1 (quite unlikely though) then all the better. The higher your priority, the faster your car will get a VIN and then build date. Oh and I wouldnt worry so much about the pre orders. The way they were allocated is completely different from the way new current orders are being done now. To give you an example, I ordered 12/2 and my car was built 12/15 with a priority 1 I received.

Allocated vs. allocated quicky. At this point in the model year it's not that much of an issue. Most of the enthusiasts and large volume dealers have been served. Try getting an order scheduled at a small dealership at the beginning of a model year, especially on a popular vehicle or a retooling year, and see how long it takes.

Mysamll dealer in a small town got mine to dealer in 7 weeks. It's all about allocation and most dealers don't have many in stock overall, gts and v6 moving quickly still, Eco boost are the majority off in stock and sitting
